“Mystery Surrounds KV Fall Play” ‘‘It is always a challenge and great fun to prepare and perform an Agatha Christie mystery. This one has been especially beset with difficulties. I wish to offer special thanks to Greg Oliver and Robert Leturgez for their help and encouragement. Thanks also to the parents who, like my family, ‘endured’. Applause and bouquets to cast and crew alike!” Carole J. Mangas. Tryouts for the fall play were held the first week of October. Due to the great display of interest from the girls, the female parts in the play were double cast. Each cast member, Mrs. Mangas, and Mary Haring, the assistant director, spent many exhausting early morning and late night practices trying to per- fect the play. Due to unfortunate circumstances and family illness, Andy Kozak, cast for the part of Guiles Ralston was unable to perform his role. Kerry McGuire, ori- ginally cast as the Mollie Ralston for Saturday night’s performance, quickly learned the lines and played the part of Guiles Ralston Friday and Saturday nights. The attendance at both performances encouraged the actors, and the ap- plause proved all their efforts had been worthwhile.

Spikers encounter tough competition The Kougar Spikers traveled to Morgan Township and entered a new Sectional. In previous years, KV hosted the Sec- tional. but due to too many sectionals within the state, the KV sectional had to be eliminated. The teams were sent to join other sectionals. Our Spikers joined Morgan Township, Wheeler, He- bron, Kouts, Washington Twp., Han- over Central and Boone Grove in the battle. The girls put up a good fight, but even- tually lost to the Hebron Hawks. Our loss was put in a better light when the Hebron girls went on to win the entire Sectional.
